Easily one of my favorite films of last year.

Well, Brand considers himself our generation's…fill in the blank, I suppose. Martin Luther? I don't know…
I've been catching up on more Stewart Lee; watched all of S4 of the Comedy Vehicle on youtube, laughed quite a bit, although it did feel by the end that he was running out of material. Still been a real discovery…

I'm old as the moon, so I lived through those eras as a fairly attentive fan. I'm not romanticizing it, and there was definitely a lot of great stuff I didn't hear about until after the fact, but it did seem like there were more ways to know/learn about new bands/music. But those were also the days of "scenes" in…

Sure, but it's a pretty famous singer. This has certainly got to be their last touring go-round, and they can use his name as a selling point. I mean, I wouldn't go, but there's certainly people who would see this as a unique experience.

He's going to be fronting Black Oak Arkansas for a few months

As a 70s rock fan, I'd guess for Axl it's kind of thrill to sing with AC/DC. He'll make it work as well as it could at this point.

I think it's just because they want to fulfill the tour dates, and wanted to put somebody in there of some fame, instead of somebody's brother in law.

And they are so moved by all that, the National Front may well be the ruling party in the next election.

This is a repeat from another comment, but since you asked directly..
Bleached, Tacocat, Wavves, Radkey, Downtown Boys, Tenement, Fidlar, Zig Zags, the Shrine, Parquet Courts, Pop. 1280, Savages, Boytoy, Pwr Btm, Sheer Mag, Windhand, Deafheaven, Gazebos, A Giant Dog, Titus Andronicus (not "new" but "newish")….just off…

I know you only asked for one, but thought I'd add a few more. You know, for the kids.

That's true, but you did have a much more influential music press, and radio stations that occasionally had specialty shows and weren't entirely terrified to play something that wasn't from 15 years before. Also had tons of indie record stores that stocked and encouraged the sales of new bands, and not just what was…

Tons of great, new bands, but unfortunately we live in an age where exposure to it is almost nil, aside from the occasional blog post or freakish incident on Spotify.

You minx!

That pretty much *is* Coachella, tbh.

Finally get to hear "Dirty Work" and "Knocked Out Loaded" as they were originally intended!

$500 a pop? I could see that happening.

I'd wager my cash on Jagger in that scenario

Only if you insulted Eisenhower

FOC: Was Marilyn Munster Meant to be Mary Magdalene?

Pretty influential on Beefheart, though
